Another Timely Message for Beto and his Fellow Gun Banners

WildRose:

No it wasn’t and we know the original meaning of the phrase 'Well Regulated".

“A well regulated clock keeps proper time”.

It simply means to work as designed and/or efficiently.

You can’t quickly raise a civilian militia that is either effective or efficient in times of emergency unless they are already armed and well versed in using their arms.

The following are taken from the Oxford English Dictionary , and bracket in time the writing of the 2nd amendment:

1709: “If a liberal Education has formed in us well-regulated Appetites and worthy Inclinations.”

1714: “The practice of all well-regulated courts of justice in the world.”

1812: “The equation of time … is the adjustment of the difference of time as shown by a well-regulated clock and a true sun dial.”

1848: “A remissness for which I am sure every well-regulated person will blame the Mayor.”

1862: “It appeared to her well-regulated mind, like a clandestine proceeding.”

1894: “The newspaper, a never wanting adjunct to every well-regulated American embryo city.”

Yes, words and phrases sometimes have two meanings. So what. It doesn’t negate the fact that the national guard was what the founders envisioned.

Well no, that was the only meaning of the phrase at the time as demonstrated and the NG could not have been what they were referring to since the only example they had to work with were the colonial militias.

Don’t confuse him with facts.

Facts?

Facts are irrelevant in gun discussions.

The reason for the militia to exist is because they didn’t have or want a standing army, since we have one there’s no need for all the guns.

WildRose · 2019-10-01T08:20:46.412Z

Then start your repeal petition.

westaussie · 2019-10-02T10:09:44.832Z

That would explain the idiocy claiming that video games are to blame.

WildRose · 2019-10-03T03:13:18.902Z

They are one of many factors influencing young mass shooters.

westaussie · 2019-10-03T03:24:26.272Z

Do other countries youth have access to those same video games? Do other countries’ youth who watch those same videos become mass shooters?

WildRose · 2019-10-03T03:58:08.527Z

False premise.

We’re talking about one factor of many. There are countries in this world with far more viscous killers than our own.

westaussie · 2019-10-03T06:05:11.845Z

Did you mean vicious? How does that ameliorate the situation in the USA?

WildRose:

Facts?

Facts are irrelevant in gun discussions.

That’s true as regards the left. Had a good time at the shooting range today and can report that i still have seen my gun move on its own.

WildRose · 2019-10-03T21:20:28.752Z

Our situation is just fine, if we could manage to get the democrats to put the focus where it belongs on criminal gangs and the mentally unstable it would be much better.

westaussie · 2019-10-04T05:52:33.850Z

If you are so concerned about mental health then support for universal health care when be a good place to start.

WildRose · 2019-10-04T06:12:50.739Z

No, UHC certainly would not be the solution to dealing with the dangerously mentally ill.

They can easily be identified and dealt with appropriately without UHC.

westaussie · 2019-10-04T06:19:50.974Z

Universal health care would allow them to receive medical treatment irrespective of their socio-economic circumstance.

WildRose · 2019-10-04T06:47:51.035Z

Anyone can get court ordered mental health care regardless of their financial status as it is.

westaussie · 2019-10-04T08:06:35.281Z

Such a lack of understanding of mental health issues is very discouraging.

WildRose · 2019-10-04T08:11:46.067Z

I have no lack of understanding of MH issues, you however have a severe lack of understanding of our system and what’s available here to those who are in need and are dangerous to themselves or others.

gooddad409 · 2019-10-06T14:19:17.117Z

True.
